minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoOk, but it’s rather specific case if you were still using a laptop with an HDD last year.
minus-squareTheOakTree@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoThere are still a few use cases… mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME. But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoSure. But even my ~8 year old laptop has an M.2 drive. I haven’t seen a spinning disk in anything I’ve considered buying in the last ~10 years.
